Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 soft slider buns
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (casings removed)
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 3 tablespoons garlic butter, softened
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping or drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage: Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and cook it in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small, even pieces as it browns and crisps. This ensures every bite has the perfect texture.
  2. Toast the Buns: While the sausage cooks, slice the slider buns and brush each side with garlic butter. Toast them lightly in a pan or oven until golden and fragrant.
  3. Assemble the Sliders: Layer the cooked sausage evenly on the bottom buns, add slices of provolone cheese so it starts to melt slightly, and top with roasted red peppers and fresh basil leaves.
  4. Finalize and Serve: Place the top buns over the fillings and press gently. Serve the sliders warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping to amplify the Italian flavor.

Notes

  • Use quality sausage for the freshest, most flavorful results.
  • Don’t overcook the meat to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Toast the buns well with garlic butter to add crunch and prevent sogginess.
  • Balance each slider with meat, cheese, and veggies for even, delicious bites.
  • Serve sliders immediately after assembly to enjoy at their best.
